Abstract: The normally provided recirculating pump, jet generating action blower and light in a spa are turned on and off by appropriate pump, jet and light signals. These signals are provided by a radio receiver in turn responsive to different transmitted signals. A battery powered hand-held radio transmitter in turn may be manually operated to generate the different signals and thus enable the recirculating pump, jet action generating blower and light in the spa to be operated from a remote location. The system also contemplates the use of switching valves so that the same recirculating pump for the spa can be remotely controlled for recirculating water in a swimming pool should a user also have a swimming pool on the premises.
